In New Testament days, Jews and Samaritans did not get along. Jews would go as far as avoiding Samaria altogether when traveling. So why would it say early in John 4 that Jesus “had to go through Samaria.” He went there for a purpose. Instead of water, the woman He met at the well would find the Messiah. Drew “Boo” Scott from Westside Church of Christ in Norman unpacks this amazing story of an encounter with Jesus.
